OPEN SOURCE AND SECURITY

Though reviewed, tested, and certified for enterprise use, experience has shown that almost no software is perfect. As vulnerabilities are discovered, the affected software must be updated in order to limit any potential risks.

However, with open source software, your agency can still achieve security assurance through:

• Flexibility in local and remote logging, and monitoring, and auditing
• Vulnerability remediation with automatic patch releases to address bugs, provide enhancements, or to fix vulnerabilities
• Control with industry standard management and identity products

Quick and reliable security responses are the key to avoiding a costly system lock down. Download this informative whitepaper outlining how open source software development principles and process lead to more secure software for your agency.
